Hi All,

I have a Dec 2016 V40 D3. It has just over 50k miles. I have noticed quite a bit of dark grey smoke out the back when i accelerate in 4th gear. Not so much of an issue in other gears. When the car is started in the morning, and I am standing behind it, the fumes don't too smell too good. I just haven't noticed that with any diesel I have had previously.

I have given it a couple of doses of Redex diesel, as well as an 'Italian tune-up', but it hasn't helped. It has been serviced (but not by a dealer), and has never been modified/tuned or mapped. It doesn't seem to be going through oil. Has anyone any ideas or advice?

Thanks!
